The Associated Press reported, citing its correspondent in Mexico City, that the Mexican immigration agency announced on Friday that its agents had arrested two Iranians who, according to them, are under FBI surveillance. The National Institute of Immigration of Mexico did not specify what the FBI's investigation was about. The agency stated that a total of five Iranians were arrested along with their Haitian driver, who apparently acted as their guide on a highway between the border cities of Tijuana and Tecate at the California border. It is reported that their vehicle was stopped at a toll booth because agents were suspicious that they intended to cross the border into the United States. According to the agency, two of the Iranians are 'under the supervision of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.' As of the time of this report, the FBI had not responded to this report and had not confirmed the information published by the Associated Press. The Biden administration's requested budget for aid to Ukraine is at an impasse in Congress; Republicans say U.S. border security is a priority.
